I'm on a re-reading spree for the COAs and I'm up to the "Best OC" category, which brings me back to your fic that I had followed as it was being posted, but haven't come back to since it was completed. I think I read this chapter before Blink aired in Canada (or at least before I read Turn Your Back, Look Away and Blink by Lumenda), because I GET IT NOW!!! ***does the happy dance***

Excellent story, tho I thought the earlier chapters were too choppy and short. That smoothed out as the story went on and the later chapters were more successful.
Comments from author:
yeah that problem kinda happened cause i didn't write the story chronologically. one of the first scenes i wrote was the one where kiara first meets this dimensions spike... the story kinda developed from there, but i had some problems linking the scenes. so thing are a bit choppy, but i'm glad you still liked it. thank you reviewing. you made my day ^_^

I love this story. Do you know how hard it is to find a story where Spike gets the girl on this site? And for me (who absolutely adores Spike) its a bit of a problem. Anyway, I liked the part where Draco yelled at the two doppelgangers to see sense, he really is such an interesting character. The Slytherin's in this story are very much like I imagine they would be, an eleven year old child cant be evil if he isn't a sociopath (and that's a whole other thing), but everyone acts towards them in a way that suggests their all going to go on a killing spree any moment. So it is nice to see someone play at this problem. If you were wondering I'm looking forward to your next update.

yeah, some people are really very rude to spike. i can't imagine why this is. i always did find the sorting process on hogwarts a bit iffy. i mean who can determine what someone will be like when they're older by looking at their 11-year old selves... i mean a person can change so much in 7 years that it doesn't make sense to predetermine their personality at eleven. it's really a case of secondary deviancy - everyone expects them to be evil, so eventually most of them just give in. the slytherins really have it bad. the epilogue will be posted tomorrow. thank you for this lovely review ^_^ i'm glad you liked it enough to leave such a long review.

It just flowed by so fast! Nice job balancing the golden Trio as idiots theme - not bashing just legitimate disgust and distrust.
So very mean of you to bring her Spike and still leave her out.
Comments from author:
i don't think i could bash the golden trio... i generally like them, they just couldn't be the good guys in this story. and they made an honest mistake - if i bashed them, then i'd have to bash the scoobies and that's not what this story is about. yeah... but really, the spikes are possessive and they're not about to let someone else spend quality time with their mate. don't worry, they'll be set straight soon enough. thank you for he review. it made my day ^_^
interesting. I liked it. I'm interested in the connection between draco and william. And how will Kiara be reacting when learning of this, I wonder...
Comments from author:
william will be making an appearance in the next chapter. and since kiara still hasn't gotten over spike's death, you can imagine she's not gonna react all that well. thank you for the review ^_^
interesting, I like it... I'm just hoping to read about other characters' reaction to her muggle electronics working at Hogwarts...
edit: a thought: it would also be interesting to see Hermione trying to compare both types of magic and how they affect electronics...
Comments from author:
thank you. the electronics bit is actually not very relevant to the story so i can and will get away without mentioning it again. sorry. and as you can imagine, kiara's not overly impressed by hermione, so she's trying to avoid her when possible. and since kiara can't do magic, she wouldn't really have much to say to hermione about wiccan magic - she treats magic like she treats technology - it works and she couldn't care less how it happens ^_^
It is a decent Mary Sue. Of course I don't mind some Mary-Sue's. She isn't annoying yet. However should it really be in the Spike Centered Category? Maybe the general category.
Comments from author:
i'm glad she's not as annoying as some mary sue's ^_^ i wasn't going for mary-sue, but i guess sometimes it just happens. and it should be in spike centered category. don't worry, he'll be making an appearance soon. thank you for the review
